Abstract
Abstract A device for building up a workpiece of any shape by deposit welding comprising a support device for the workpiece and a welding head for depositing the filler material. A form shoe is arranged on both sides of the workpiece wall that it being built up. Each form shoe is movable independently from the other one and transverse to the workpiece wall. The welding head is reciprocably mounted between the form shoes. There is provided a device for producing relative movement between the support device with the workpiece and/or the welding head and the form shoes.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
90 words
An apparatus for building up a workpiece by deposit welding, comprising a support device for the workpiece, a welding head for depositing filler material, a cooled form shoe means for defining the growing workpiece wall, said shoe means including a plurality of cooled form shoes respectively positioned on each side of the workpiece wall, each of said form shoes being independently movable and being movable transversely to said workpiece wall, and means for moving the support device together with the workpiece relative to the welding head and the form shoes.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
90 words
An apparatus for building up a workpiece by deposit welding, comprising a support device for the workpiece, a welding head for depositing filler material, a cooled form shoe means for defining the growing workpiece wall, said shoe means including a plurality of cooled form shoes respectively positioned on each side of the workpiece wall, each of said form shoes being independently movable and being movable transversely to said workpiece wall, and means for moving the support device together with the workpiece relative to the welding head and the form shoes.
Claim 3
Independent Claim
101 words
An apparatus for the build up of a workpiece by deposit welding, comprising: a support device for the workpiece; a welding head for depositing the filler material; a cooled form shoe means for defining the growing workpiece wall, said shoe means including a cooled form shoe positioned on each side of the workpiece wall; a first movement means for moving the workpiece; a second movement means for moving the welding head; and a third movement means for moving each of the form shoes independently of each other whereby each of the form shoes is tiltable and movable in a vertical direction.
Claim 4
Independent Claim
101 words
An apparatus for the build up of a workpiece by deposit welding, comprising: a support device for the workpiece; a welding head for depositing the filler material; a cooled form shoe means for defining the growing workpiece wall, said shoe means including a cooled form shoe positioned on each side of the workpiece wall; a first movement means for moving the workpiece; a second movement means for moving the welding head; and a third movement means for moving each of the form shoes independently of each other whereby each of the form shoes is tiltable and movable in a vertical direction.
Claim 5
Independent Claim
115 words
An apparatus for the build up of a workpiece with at least one wall by deposit welding, comprising a support device for the workpiece, a welding head for depositing the filler material, said welding head mounted to a welding head support, a movement means for producing relative movement between the welding head and the support device together with the workpiece, a cooled form shoe positioned on each side of the workpiece wall wherein each of said form shoes defines a portion of the growing workpiece wall, and each of said form shoes is connected to said welding head support by an articulated arm so that each form shoe is movable relative to the workpiece wall.
Claim 6
Independent Claim
115 words
An apparatus for the build up of a workpiece with at least one wall by deposit welding, comprising a support device for the workpiece, a welding head for depositing the filler material, said welding head mounted to a welding head support, a movement means for producing relative movement between the welding head and the support device together with the workpiece, a cooled form shoe positioned on each side of the workpiece wall wherein each of said form shoes defines a portion of the growing workpiece wall, and each of said form shoes is connected to said welding head support by an articulated arm so that each form shoe is movable relative to the workpiece wall.
